After sleeping in the open for several days, Angel decided to temporarily stay in the hunter's cabin tonight. And he also planned to revive the man in the coffin tonight. He would first ask about his identity, and then look around.
Is there any place to go?
As night fell, Angel lit the oil lamp. The dim, dancing light illuminated the narrow wooden house.
Angel took the coffin out of the bracelet.
After opening the coffin lid, the man soaked in blood suddenly opened his eyes. When Angel saw his crazy look, he immediately stopped and said, "Be good and don't move."
The man had already started struggling, but after hearing Angel's words, he slowly stopped.
Looking at the man in the coffin, Angel's eyes were full of curiosity.
According to Angel's understanding of parasites, as long as the parasite is within the scope of the nightmare world, it will continue to absorb external energy. The parasite at this time actually has great benefits for the parasite. However, once the parasite leaves the aura of the nightmare world,
, it will begin to absorb the host's energy until it drains the host completely, and the parasite will look for its next home.
The man in the coffin left Pocrates a long time ago, so without the aura of the nightmare world, the parasites will naturally bite back the host according to their characteristics. At this time, Axl saved the man and
Its essence and blood hang on the man's life. To be precise, its essence and blood keep the energy in the man's body from withering, while the parasites eat back this energy to survive.
So the final result is that Axl relies on his own blood and essence to continue the life of the parasite. But there is another reason why the man can live for thousands of years.
"Why is he immortal for thousands of years? And..." Angel looked at the man's blood-stained face, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "And he has not aged yet, and his face still looks very young."
Numerous questions flashed through Angel's mind, but he did not delve into it at this time. He would save the man first.
But before expelling the parasites, Angel still has one thing to do——
Looking at the blood shining faintly in the coffin, Angel had a hint of covetousness in his eyes: "What a luxury. The blood of wizard-level monsters is a very precious material!"
The most important thing is that this blood essence can not only be used in alchemy, but can also be concocted into blood ink!
Angel once took a fancy to a bottle of "Dark Gold Gargoyle Blood Ink" during the Twilight Sale. Although Dark Gold Gargoyle Blood Ink is an extremely high-quality type of Gargoyle Blood Ink, this is only a horizontal comparison.
, if compared vertically, the dark gold gargoyle is far inferior to a wizard-level monster.
Although part of the energy of the essence and blood in the coffin has been lost, it is still extremely precious, even compared to the snake sloughs and snake teeth given by Axl.
Angel did not intend to waste the blood essence. In order to prevent the man from questioning after he woke up, he was not prepared to let the man see the blood essence. So before that, he had to empty the blood essence in the coffin.
Because the parasite will eat up the man's own energy after leaving the essence and blood, so as to prevent the man from being sucked dry, Angel released the nightmare realm in advance. Now his nightmare realm is considered a small success, and the nightmare realm breath inside supports a man.
Parasites are no problem.
They untied the vines on the man's body and got him out of the coffin. His clothes had long been shattered into pieces, so when he came out bathed in blood, he was completely naked.
After not moving for a thousand years, it stands to reason that the muscles have atrophied and it is impossible to move the limbs. However, Angel unexpectedly discovered that in addition to the overall weakness of the man, his organs were basically as normal. He even pinched the man's arm, and it was still stiff.
"Is it the parasites that help with the conditioning? Or is it other reasons?"
Leaving the man in the nightmare to play by himself, Angel directly put the lid back on the coffin and put the blood and essence inside into the bracelet. There was a lot of blood and essence in the coffin, and he didn't have the ability to collect blood at the moment.
Container, so the coffin can only be used as a storage container temporarily. After all, black oil wood is also a relatively precious low-level material. With Axl's blood and essence contained in it, the effect will not be lost too quickly.
After putting away the coffin, Angel took a look at the man next to him. The blood flowed down slowly, revealing the man's rather handsome face. As Angel had guessed earlier, the man looked very young and was probably about the age of 10.
Seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and thin.
There doesn't seem to be anything surprising about the appearance.
Suddenly, Angel raised his eyebrows. He found that the man seemed to be holding something in his left hand, but it was too bloody to see clearly.
He directly threw a purification spell over and cleaned the man from top to bottom.
After making sure that there was no blood residue and no smoky smell, Angel carefully looked at the thing on the man's left hand.
-That's a bowl.
The bowl seemed to be made of some kind of metal. It was silver-white in color and had a "black snake wrapped around a cone" logo carved on the inner wall of the bowl. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the bowl.
This silver bowl looked very ordinary. Angel inspected it carefully and found nothing special about it.
But just such an ordinary silver bowl gave Angel a strange feeling.
This feeling is indescribable, and he sensed it accidentally. But when he wanted to take a closer look, he could no longer detect anything strange. Looking back, he saw that it was still an ordinary bowl.
Angel carefully recalled the strange feeling at that time. There was no darkness or negative feeling at all, but an indescribable sense of solemnity.
How can a bowl create a sense of solemnity? Angel wondered if he had made a mistake.
Maybe there was something really weird about this bowl, but even so, Angel had no intention of taking it for himself. He collected Axl's blood essence because he was sure that even if the man in the coffin left the essence and blood, he would still be alive.
can survive, so this essence and blood can be said to be useless to the man. And the man has always held this bowl in his hand, even if it was parasitized, he has never let it go. This shows that this bowl should be very meaningful.
, maybe a family relic, or some kind of spiritual sustenance.
Angel observed the bowl and then turned his attention to other places.
Previously, the man's whole body was covered in blood and he could not see his body clearly. Only then did Angel discover that there was a slight bulge on the man's buttocks seam near the tailbone, about the length of his little finger.
After pressing it, it seemed that there were outwardly curved bones inside the protrusion, and there were more than one. Angel touched three small sections, and the touch was similar to that of a finger.
"Could it be an atavism?" Angel looked at the protrusion and immediately thought of the tailbone.
But whether humans originally had tails is still a matter of debate, so returning to ancestors may not be the correct answer.
"Or...is it a humanoid race?" Angel has never learned to break the mystery, so he cannot identify whether it is a human or a humanoid. However, at least one thing is certain. If it is not a mutation or atavism, the man in the coffin is the same as Bo.
There are still essential differences between the people of Crates. Because the skeletons Angel studied were all purely human, and there were not a few extra bones in the tail vertebrae.
However, it doesn't matter whether the other party is human or humanoid. The most important thing now is to wake him up quickly. If you have any questions then, just ask him.
The parasite has been in the nightmare realm for a short while. Angel can control everything in the nightmare realm, including energy. The energy absorbed by the parasite for a short while is all under Angel's control.
Angel just thought about it, and the parasite came out of the man's body.
The moment the parasite left the man, Angel noticed that the man's eyes became clear for a moment, he whispered "Dodoro", and then he fainted to the ground...
…
One night passed, and at sunrise, a roar of wild beasts suddenly came from outside the house.
During these days of wandering in the forest, Angel had gradually become accustomed to being woken up by the roar of beasts. When he got out of bed, he found that the man lying on the floor on the other side was still asleep.
Angel didn't wake him up, just walked past him and opened the door.
Warm sunlight shone in, and the wooden house that had been cleaned by the purification force field appeared bright and clean in the yellow sunlight.
Angel looked outside the door. Toby was wearing a colorful little skirt, flying in the air. At his feet was a clouded leopard with four pairs of ears.
Toby teased the clouded leopard from time to time, and after the clouded leopard reacted, it flew high again. The leopard and the bird fought for a long time, and finally the clouded leopard died, ending the chase scene.
Toby flew to Angel and pointed to the clouded leopard corpse in the distance very proudly, with a proud expression of "I prepared breakfast for you."
"You are quite happy. You have to make fun even when hunting." Angel scolded Toby with a smile, "Isn't it too boring to have barbecue for breakfast?"
Having said that, Angel still walked over and dealt with the clouded leopard without any complaints. However, Angel's skills were also very poor. A good clouded leopard skin was chopped into pieces by him, and the meat was also shredded.
Rotten.
While Angel was preparing breakfast, the door of the hunter's cabin was pushed open, and the man who had been sleeping all night came out.
Angel glanced at him: "Good morning."
The man walked very slowly and walked up to Angel step by step and said, "Good morning."
"Are you awake? I'm preparing breakfast, but I guess your stomach is not suitable for eating meat right now. How about I ask Toby to pick some fruit for you to eat?" Angel said, pointing to a few trees not far away.
This stone pier is probably a natural bench prepared by the hunters who lived here in the past. "You go over and have a rest first. I have something else to ask you later."
Angel kept talking for most of the day, but the man never responded, but stood blankly beside him.
Angel looked up in confusion. Under the backlight, the man's skin was illuminated with circles of light, his knee-length hair was scattered, and there were circles of "mosquito incense" in his golden eyes.
After a long time, the man tentatively said: "You're awake...I'm preparing breakfast, but I guess you...eat meat, hmm...fruit? You go and have a rest first, I'll have something to do later."
I want to ask you."
The man was hesitant to speak at first, but became more fluent as he went on.
When he finished saying this, his expression showed a hint of pride, and he looked at Angel with burning eyes, as if he was waiting for Angel's praise.
Angel didn't speak for a long time, looking at the man blankly.
After a while, a loud cry shook the forest——
"You must have lost your memory, right?! This kind of plot that was 800 years old is not acted out like this in dramas!!!"
